He added that the company now has an operational capacity of 17.2 GW.

"Our landmark Khavda project, the world’s largest renewable energy installation, is progressing at an accelerated pace. We are on track for the deployment of one of the world's largest single-location battery energy storage projects in the coming months. Our hydro pumped storage project on the Chitravathi river in Andhra Pradesh is also on track," he added.

On Friday, the company’s shares were down over 14% to ₹772 apiece, after an update on an ongoing bribery case in the US triggered declines across most Adani Group stocks.
